    This stuff happens all the time Tarmy, police get away with murder. I honestly cannot think of one damn time that a white man was murdered by police even got national news? Can you? I sure can’t its just the way the system operates.

    You want to see a man get murdered by police click on the link. Now, reverse the role and say he was black?

    It makes me sick honestly. Did this mans family get 27 million dollars and 7 televised funerals, painted murals? Um no. Cmon man

    No disagreement there whatsoever. I do disagree with the premise that white people would not be compensated in the same regard as a person of different color in a wrongful death situation regardless of the amount of news it generates.

    I'm not insulting you, just speaking truth. If I the truth comes off as one sided in this instance, then so be it.

    I'm not saying that a white man wouldn't get wrongful death compensation. I'm saying news coverage and political value would be non existent. Joe Biden wouldn't be teary-eyed pining over a dead white man for a photo op, kamala harris wouldn't be crying with the family and calling him a "hero" while posing and preening in front of camera's with the dead man's mother. In America, that's just how it is. More specifically, it modus operandi of the democrat party. Create a problem, blow it up, then present a solution that benefits them

    It's the truth.

    Had Floyd been white, there'd have been no political value in politicizing his death, intentionally polarizing the nation, ruining thousands of lives and livelihoods, seeing dozens killed and billions in property damage. It was all very intentionally done and orchestrated. It was an election year, and the democrat party had to beat the orange menace, no matter the costs or casualties

    Cut is right, and so am I.

    It sucks, but it's true.

    I am not insulted or offended, I find it weird that you interpret it that way instead of asking questions. Just imagine how much more you learn that way! I find it, honestly, entertaining that you think you speak “truth”? What does that even mean in a case like this? If this was math I can see it but this? Not sure why you are so obtuse?

    I actually edited it since then because when I re read it, it seemed offensive.

    I call it the way I see it.

    And as far as Truth, and what does it mean in this situation? Well I think that's sort of self explanatory.

    I admit that I can come off as insensitive. At least in writing. I appreciate your patience and understanding in the matter. I mean no offense most of the time.

    But, the truth of what I said, amusing or not to you, it's still true.

    Not causing an argument here Cuz and I understand where you are coming from, but I just had to ad this.

    Was just reading an article in the times about the settlement. In the second paragraph it mentioned that the city paid the family of a white woman killed by police 20 million, 2 years earlier.

    Yeah totally agreed about the murals and his martyr status; makes me ill.

    Do you know why the liberal journalist included that? Because they knew conservatives would bitch about the amount that was awarded so they thought, oh we have to have some backup lets add in to the article “a woman” who noone had ever heard of cant pronounce her name. She was also shot, and it was a female, so yeah kinda looks bad on cops for shooting a woman unless of course she was picking the officers off one by one which i doubt but anyway very good point Wango i adhere

    TY Cuz. You know I never thought of the addition of that fact in that way, but you are dead-on correct; nice one.
